A big question that we are most often asked to answer: Is online safety training as effective as instructor-led safety training? After wrestling with this question for the past 10 years or more, we believe that neither instructor-led training or asynchronous elearning is inherently better than the other.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is part of the United States Department of Labor. OSHA acts as the national public health agency dedicated to assuring safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women. The functions of OSHA include setting and enforcing work-related exposure standards and providing training, outreach, assistance, and education.

With clubs operating in 13 countries, providing consistent and effective training to all employees in their native language can be a big challenge. Using SafetySkills as part of our comprehensive safety program has increased employee awareness and commitment to the safety culture here at PriceSmart. Accidents and lost work days have gone down significantly, and club managers say it has become an invaluable training tool.

We have been using SafetySkills for about a year, and so far we are completely satisfied with the service. The courses are current and user-friendly, and the entire system is proving very cost effective.

Emergency preparedness is only one aspect of my job and unfortunately I don’t have the time or resources to sit down with every staff member and volunteer within our organization to explain the different aspects of how to prepare for an emergency. Also, because we are a non-profit, my organization could not afford purchasing pricey training for all our staff and volunteers. The overall cost savings of SafetySkills training for my organization is priceless.

When we were doing classroom-style safety training at ConAgra Foods, we would have to completely shut down production while our employees attended an hour-long training course. With 1,500 employees, this just wasn’t productive. Now with the SafetySkills program, we can conduct online safety training, two or three employees at a time, without affecting production. The cost savings is tremendous.

I have used Safety Skills for many years now. It allows for that one-on-one interaction education time that allows for successful comprehension. I like the way they are always updating with new features based on customer suggestions. It has made the product even better. Safety Skills has been a great tool for me as part of our safety training program.
